Jesuit Priests Back Nuns in Dispute With Cardinal
Loyola University priests signed an open letter supporting Immaculate Heart sisters in a dispute with Cardinal James Francis McIntyre. About 200 sisters across 38 parochial schools seek modern dress, prayer life, and teaching, urging negotiation while the cardinal demands return to traditional life by fall or removal from diocesan schools. The letter cites Vatican II on renewal and cooperation, signed by 25 Loyola faculty members.
